Below, the operation of power control unit 200 is described.Fig. 4 is the flow chart that the operation of power control unit 200 is shown.Here, figure 4 illustrates when the air-conditioning system 132 of one of load device is connected to electric control system 1 recently the operation that power control unit 200 carries out.
In step S101, in the situation that detect, recently be connected to electric control system 1(indoor communications circuit 180) air-conditioning system 132, acquiring unit 241 is from air-conditioning system 132 deriving means identifying informations.
In step S102, acquiring unit 241 determines whether to obtain operational factor from air-conditioning system 132.Particularly, acquiring unit 241 request air-conditioning systems 132 send operational factor.If can obtain operational factor from air-conditioning system 132, the operation of power control unit 200 execution step S104.
In step S103, for example when acquiring unit 241, determine and can not obtain operational factor from air-conditioning system 132, acquiring unit 241 obtains the operational factor corresponding with air-conditioning system 132 from external device (ED).Particularly, acquiring unit 241 will send to system side controller 50 for the solicited message of the operational factor that comprises the device identifying information, and obtain operational factors from system side controller 50.
Like this, by step S102 and S103, acquiring unit 241 obtains the operational factor of the running status for determining air-conditioning system 132.For example, when another air-conditioning system similar to existing air-conditioning system 132 is added in user 10, acquiring unit 241 can obtain the operational factor of the operational factor of the air-conditioning system 132 be stored in information table as other air-conditioning systems.
In step S104, setting unit 242 is divided into predetermined predetermined quantity by the multiple operational factor of air-conditioning system 132, and a plurality of operational modes 1 to 5 are set.
Particularly, setting unit 242 creates information table in memory cell 220.The multiple operational factor of the air-conditioning system 132 that setting unit 242 obtains acquiring unit 241 according to estimated power consumption is divided into 5 kinds of operational factors, and the storage operational factor associated with each operational mode 1 to 5.
In step S105, move the operational factor that control unit 243 is corresponding with operational mode 1 to 5 for each temporarily, move air-conditioning system 132 and lighting device 131 temporarily.Particularly, move control unit 243 reference memory units 220 temporarily obtain the operational factor corresponding with each operational mode 1 to 5.Interim operation control unit 243 indication air-conditioning systems 132 are moved according to the operational factor corresponding with operational mode 1 to 5 temporarily.
In step S106, when air-conditioning system 132 is carried out interim operation according to the indication of interim operation control unit 243, measuring unit 244 is measured the power consumption corresponding with each operational mode 1 to 5.Measuring unit 244 can be measured the mean value of power consumption when calculating interim operation.Can be that the several seconds was to tens of seconds the period of the interim operation of each operational mode 1 to 5.

(4) effect
In the power control unit 200 according to above-mentioned execution mode, when load device is connected with electric control system 1, obtain the operational factor for the operational mode of configuration load device.Power control unit 200 is divided into obtained operational factor the 5 kinds of operational modes 1 to 5 that are determined in advance, and is provided for the operational mode of the running status of definite load device.
Even load device has multiple operational factor, according to power control unit 200, also operational factor is divided into to the operational factor corresponding with 5 kinds of operational modes 1 to 5 to be managed.Therefore, in power control unit 200, according to operational mode 1 to 5, can jointly adjust multiple operational factor and, without adjusting each operational factor, therefore can suppress the processing load for the operation of control load device.
In addition, according to power control unit 200, according to each the set operational factor in a plurality of operational modes 1 to 5, carry out the interim operation of load device and obtain interim power consumption.Therefore, in power control unit 200, the processing of the corresponding power consumption of design load computational load device needn't be passed through, therefore the processing load for calculating can be suppressed.
And, in the power control unit 200 according to present embodiment, not the power consumption for each the computational load device in operational mode 1 to 5 by design load, but obtain by the actual measured value of interim operation.Therefore, according to the power control unit 200 of present embodiment, know more accurately for each the power consumption of load device in operational mode 1 to 5, thereby can control more accurately the power consumption of the load device in 10 of users.
Especially, when load device is air-conditioning system 132, for example, according to the room type that air-conditioning system 132 is installed (, kitchen or bedroom) and the installation environment area in room for example, it is different from the power consumption of calculating by design load that actual power consumption is regarded as.Obtain power consumption according to the power control unit 200 of present embodiment by the interim actual measured value of moving, thereby be useful to this situation.
In addition, according to the power control unit 200 according to present embodiment, even in the time of can not obtaining the operational factor corresponding with load device from load device, also can or obtain operational factor according to user's input operation from the external device (ED) of for example system side controller 50, thereby can obtain more reliably operational factor.
(5) according to the first modification of present embodiment
Then, the first modification according to present embodiment is described.Associated with interim operating interim power consumption and be stored as the power consumption corresponding to operational mode 1 to 5 according to the power control unit 200 of above-mentioned execution mode.But, because measured interim power consumption in interim running is the measurement result in the short time, therefore think that the precision of interim power consumption is lower.
After measuring interim power consumption, for example, when one of operational mode 1 to 5 according to predetermined quantity (, operational mode 1) while carrying out the operation of load device, the actual power consumption consumed according to the measuring unit 244 sensing lead devices of this modification.Namely, in the power control unit 200 according to this modification, the power consumption that measuring unit 244 consumes during by sensing lead device actual motion again, measure more accurate actual power consumption.
In addition, measuring unit 244 is operational mode (for example, the operational mode 1) association when again measuring by the actual power consumption of measuring, and the power consumption after association is stored in the information table of memory cell 220.Now, measuring unit 244 can be stored the mark of expression " interim power consumption " or " actual power consumption ", in order to determine that in information table the power consumption that is stored as " power consumption " is " interim power consumption " or " actual power consumption ".
Afterwards, when the operation of control load, power control unit 245 is according to the operation of operational mode and actual power consumption control load device.Thus, power control unit 245 can carry out electric power control to the load device in 10 of users according to more accurate actual power consumption.
(6) according to the second modification of present embodiment
Then, the second modification according to present embodiment is described.Be configured to management operational factor and the power consumption corresponding with each operational mode 1 to 5 according to the power control unit 200 of above-mentioned execution mode.But, consider that the user changes operational factor continually.In this case, power control unit 200 can increase new operational mode.
For example, when air-conditioning system 132 based on operational mode 1 according to for example heating, when 28 ℃ of temperature and air quantity is controlled automatically operational factor operation, for example, when the input unit 230 of power control unit 200 to the change of the temperature of air-conditioning system 132 (is accepted the user, during the change from 28 ℃ to 27 ℃) more than pre-determined number, setting unit 242 can increase new operational mode (for example operational mode 1.5) in information table, this new operational mode by the operational factor corresponding with changing result (heat, 27 ℃ of temperature and automatically air quantity control) configuration.
In addition, when having increased new operational mode, setting unit 242 is notified the increase of new operational mode to interim operation control unit 243, moves control unit 243 temporarily and can indicate air-conditioning system 132 to move according to the operational factor corresponding with new operational mode temporarily.In this case, measuring unit 244 is measured interim power consumption corresponding with new operational mode in the process of interim operation, the power consumption of new operational mode, operational factor and actual measurement is interrelated, and they are stored in the information table of memory cell 220.
On the other hand, when having increased new operational mode, if air-conditioning system 132 actual motions, setting unit 242 is notified this effect to measuring unit 244.Measuring unit 244 is measured the actual power consumption corresponding with new operational mode according to this notice.In this case, measuring unit 244 is interrelated by the power consumption of new operational mode, operational factor and actual measurement, and they are stored in the information table of memory cell 220.
(7) according to the 3rd modification of present embodiment
Then, the 4th modification according to present embodiment is described.In the above-described embodiment, the time period low in electricity needs, electric power being supplied with to the situation that 200 pairs of load devices of power control unit in the arbitrary time period in low time period of large time period, electricity expense carry out interim operation is described.But be not limited to move the situation of 1 load device, power control unit 200 can move a plurality of load devices temporarily temporarily.
In this case, need within the short as far as possible time, carry out effectively interim operation.On the other hand, when a large amount of load devices move with the operational mode of high power consumption simultaneously temporarily, total electricity consumption may surpass feasible value (hereinafter, " electric power feasible value ") and may activate circuit breaker.
Therefore, in this modification, in the situation that do not know actual electrical power, consume, move control unit 243 temporarily and at first move under low condition in prediction power consumption temporarily.For example, carry out the part operation provisionally under the operational mode of power consumption minimum in the interim a plurality of load devices that move.Measuring unit 244 is measured the power consumption (interim power consumption) in the first interim running for each load device.
When first has moved temporarily, interim operation control unit 243 increases the quantity of the load device of interim operation simultaneously, and/or the operational mode of the load device that will move changes into the operational mode that consumes the second high power consumption temporarily, the power consumption that this operational mode consumes is under the first interim operation.Therefore, move control unit 243 temporarily and change gradually the quantity of the interim load device moved and/or the operational mode of the interim load device moved, so that the total electricity consumption in interim running increases gradually.
In this process of carrying out continuously interim operation, when the total electricity consumption in the interim running of prediction surpasses the electric power feasible value, move the quantity that control unit 243 reduces the load device that simultaneously carries out interim operation temporarily.
Therefore, according to this modification, change gradually the quantity of the interim load device moved and/or the operational mode of the interim load device moved, in order to increase gradually the total electricity consumption in interim running, thereby can be in the situation that prevent that interim operating total electricity consumption from surpassing the electric power feasible value, makes a plurality of load devices move at short notice effectively temporarily.
(8) according to the 4th modification of present embodiment

For example, for load device, when in the interim in service measured power consumption under predetermined operational mode (interim power consumption) and the actual motion under predetermined operational mode, the difference of measured power consumption (actual power consumption) has surpassed predetermined threshold, in definite this load device of failure diagnosis unit 246, break down.On the contrary, when this difference is equal to or less than this threshold value, use measured power consumption (actual power consumption) in actual motion to upgrade (that is, rewriteeing) information table.
Replacedly, for load device, when the difference that measured power consumption (actual power consumption A) and time point this time point after are in power consumption measured in the actual motion under predetermined operational mode (actual power consumption B) in the actual motion under being in sometime predetermined operational mode surpasses predetermined threshold, in definite this load device of failure diagnosis unit 246, break down.On the contrary, when this difference is equal to or less than this threshold value, use nearest power consumption (actual power consumption B) to upgrade (that is, rewriteeing) information table.
Here, in order to increase the precision of diagnosis, the situation that can the difference of the only power consumption in an operational mode not surpassed to threshold value is defined as fault, and still, the situation that the difference of the power consumption in a plurality of operational modes can be surpassed to threshold value is defined as fault.
When failure diagnosis unit 246 detects the fault of load device, failure diagnosis unit 246 control the output unit 250 that is arranged in power control unit 200 so that output unit 250 outputs about the alert message of load device.When output unit 250 is display, failure diagnosis unit 246 can control output unit 250 so that the image that output unit 250 outputs are changed or repaired this load device for prompting, character etc.When output unit 250 is loud speaker, failure diagnosis unit 246 can control output unit 250 so that the sound that output unit 250 outputs are changed or repaired this load device for prompting.
Replacedly, when failure diagnosis unit 246 detects the fault of load device, failure diagnosis unit 246 is controlled communication unit 210 so that communication unit 210 sends the alert message about this load device to intended destination.This intended destination can be user's communication terminal, can be also manufacturer or mender's communication terminal.
Therefore, according to this modification, can automatically detect the fault of load device and by signalling trouble user for example.
